In this wonderful modern world there
is one single global industry, though,
that is the exact opposite of nearly all
other industries. It is called the in-
surance industry. Whatever you buy
from the insurance industry it will de-
finitely not bring a smile of satisfac-
tion to your face. Even under heavy
duress that song about the wonderful
world would be the last thing to spring
to mind, especially so if your torturers
forced you to stare at your car insuran-
ce policy. Or any other insurance poli-
cy for that matter.
I
n fact, shopping for any kind
of insurance policy is a peculiar kind
of duress in and by itself. When you
exchange your money for some insu-
rance product it is really much more
about the misery of life than about any
kind of positive emotion.
When you part with your money to get
a piece of paper called insurance po-
licy you better forget about freedom
of choice and just about everything
else you take for granted when buying
other things and services.
In that sense the insurance world is
not much different from the Chinese
communist party at the time when it
waged the cultural revolution under
the leadership of chairman Mao – joy
and fun should not be mixed with in-
surers and hard-line communists. The
key word of these two systems have al-
ways been
“MUST”.
